Festo 1/4 Inch 7 mm Tiger 3/2 way Open/Closed Reversible Mechanical Pneumatic Valve VL/O-3-1/4

The Festo VL/O-3-1/4 is a versatile 3/2-way monostable pneumatic valve designed for efficient airflow control in applications requiring both open and closed functions. With a G1/4 port size and a nominal width of 7 mm, this valve provides a standard nominal flow rate of 800 l/min, suitable for moderate pneumatic systems. Constructed from durable die-cast aluminum, it is equipped with an IP65 rating for protection in dusty and wet environments, while the reversible flow functionality and mechanical spring reset offer enhanced flexibility and reliability.

Key Features:

• 3/2-Way Monostable Open/Closed Control: Enables flexible management of airflow with reversible flow direction, allowing for open and closed operations.
• High Switching Speed: With a switching time of 7 ms (on) and 26 ms (off), it supports applications that require responsive control.
• IP65 Protection: Dust-tight and water-resistant, ideal for industrial settings with exposure to harsh conditions.
• Soft Sealing Principle: Ensures minimal leakage, maintaining consistent performance.
• Compact and Robust Design: At 30.5 mm wide, it’s easy to integrate into various setups, while the die-cast aluminum housing provides durability.
• Flexible Mounting Options: Suitable for manifold rail or through-hole mounting, offering adaptable installation.
• Mechanical Spring Reset: Ensures stability, returning the valve to its original position after actuation.
